1. Both sacrifice themselves and get enlightenment. Both turn to be god and goddess of the realm.

2. Tantai Jin dies for Li Susu, or vice versa. So many xianxia end this way. Boring.

3. Anything happy ending. I want to shed tears of happiness in the end.

I agree with you. This scene is similar to a scene in LBFD where Orchid Fairy sacrificed herself to save Dongfang Qingcang. However, we aren't confused about her love, even though previously she got bad treatments. We know it as the act of love because her previous actions and words are solid. YXW's action can also be considered self-sacrifice and she experienced something bad, too. But, her actions and words are not coherent. Sometimes she love and support, sometimes she hate and betray, too openly. In my opinion, YXW has confused feeling. In the beginning, it is not either love nor hate. But, in the end, it is definitely hate. TTJ just sickly loves her one-sidedly. He was cheated.

Tang Lian's fake death is important for Xiao Se, Lei Wujie, Ye Ruoyi, dan Qianluo's character development. There are certain changes in their personality after his death. Tang Lian is the most reliable disciple of Xueyue City and the wisest among the group. When he was around, Qianluo always hid behind his back. After his death, Qian Luo trained harder and took more responsibilities. For Xiao Se, it makes him more mature; he thought more about others' well-being and safety. He thus was more willing to self-sacrifice rather than put his friends into risks. For Ye Ruoyi, she took responsibility to become Xiao Se's advisor, replacing Tang Lian.

Ao Yu, Crown Prince of Nanjue

Even though later episodes took place in palace, the main theme of TBOY is brotherhood and family, not the political struggle. It makes TBOY differs in better way from NIF. In NIF, after the issue solved, the ML cut his tie with his emperor uncle. The emperor just ended in regret. In TBOY, the regret is followed by restoration of family ties, between emperor as the father and his son, and the emperor with his deceased. brother.

I am disappointed she only gave this drama 1.5. For me it is the best among wuxia this year. But, I don't blame because she admitted it herself she didn't watch the donghua or read the novel. She needs more research before publishing her review, especially for drama which is generally perceived as very good by public. Go against public opinion would not be good.

The dog appears as the mascot of Tianqi city. You can find it in the episode where Xiao Se and friends went to lantern festival and Sikong Qianluo bought him the mascot (it is a doll, I think).

It is because he is angry. Why he is angry is explained in episode 9 or 10.

The drama ends like the novel ends. So, I think there will not be any sequel.

Yes, the build up is not strong enough. I think their romance starts in episode 8 when Xiao Se compliment her getting prettier. Qian Luo then has a kind of childish crush on him and pursue him everywhere. She is just a teenager.

Xiao Se is a character of suprise. This like when Xiao Se with Tang Lian gambling in Rui's city. At first he seemed like refusing, but in the end he accepted Tang Lian's 5 5 6 funnily.

Xiao Se-Qian Luo follows the novel.
